The movie ‘Veteran 2’ (directed by Ryu Seung-wan) was officially invited to the Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, and Sitges Film Festival.

According to CJ ENM on the 24th, ‘Veteran 2’ was officially invited to the 19th Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, USA, following the Cannes International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, and the 57th Sitges Film Festival in Sitges, Spain.

Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the United States specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and fantastic films from around the world, and is a film festival that introduces the best genre films from around the world. Film critic and journalist Pierce Conran said on the official Fantastic Fest homepage, “With ‘Veteran 2,’ director Ryoo Seung-wan returns to the head-on confrontation between good and evil, presenting splendid scenes featuring realistic and factual action. Through the intense action scenes, you will be able to see a side of Seoul that you’ve never seen before,” and “‘Veteran 2’ will be a film that shows the essence of Korean action films.”

Next, the Sitges Film Festival, the largest film festival in Spain, which will be held from October 3rd to the 13th, is a world-class genre film festival, and ‘Veteran 2’ will be screened in the competitive section, Orbita. It will be screened twice, on October 3rd at 2:15 PM and 8:45 PM local time. This invitation is even more meaningful as it is the second consecutive year that ‘Veteran 2’ has been invited, following Director Ryoo Seung-wan’s previous work ‘Smuggling’. ‘Veteran 2’, which has been invited to prestigious film festivals around the world, has delivered good news, following invitations to the Midnight Screening at the Cannes Film Festival, the Special Presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the official invitations to the Orbita section of the Sitges Film Festival, Fantastic Fest.

Meanwhile, ‘Veteran 2’ is an action crime investigation drama about the youngest detective Park Sun-woo (Jung Hae-in) joining the violent crimes investigation unit of veteran detective Seo Do-cheol (Hwang Jung-min), who is known for catching bad guys to the end, and chasing after a serial killer who has caused a stir in the world.
